Hello
My rottweiler who is gettting close to 14 months old has a very fast recall , the problem is he dose not slow down and crashes into me which sometimes gives him a crooked sit. How do you stop this problem with out slowing the dog down. I tried standing with legs bent so he would hit my knees which sort of worked ,but this caused other problems like sitting to far away and a decrease in speed.
Hopefully will get my BH in two months.
Thanks Brent

Will he do a sit on recall? In other words, if you tell him to sit as he's coming in will he sit immediately where ever he is at that moment (kind of like the down on recall)? If he will there's a fun game you can play with him that MIGHT (no guarantees LOL) help.
One of my dogs was doing exactly the same thing. What I found to be helpful was to practice the recall from a much closer position, too close for him to get up enough speed to crash into me, and then generously reward a nice straight sit. I would gradually increase the distance, which brought the speed back into it, but still with the controlled sits. Anytime I feel his recalls are getting sloppy again, I just go back to shorter distances.

I think I probably do things pretty much like Cheri. Heir is the position in front of me. The other thing I do, is I release him on the majority of the recalls we do, turn to the right, and let him snatch the toy going by. The release is very soon, three or four steps out of his down. Here's some video showing a little bit: Chaos, hier and recall training
I'm a little wary of interrupting a recall with a sit command with my dog. The way he always anticipates things, I may end up with him sitting 6 feet away on the recall and maybe even on the retrieve.

Just to clarify Brent, I was saying I don't like to add in a sit command. Some dogs you can use it as they come in, but I think it would cause my dog to stop short and may even carry over to the retrieves.
